Getting some lightning and rumbles of thunder from that line approaching from the west. Also a fast ramp up of lightning bug season here the last 2 (warm) nights. The count went from 3 Tuesday night to 7 last night to too many to count tonight. Awesome!
I think the worst of it shapeshifted past here. Been seeing lightning off to the west (going south of here) for a while now, one of those nice evenings with thunder and lightning off in the distance for an extended period.
In my experience when there are widespread outages, the smaller the group of customers affected by an issue the longer it takes. More bang for the buck in many ways to prioritize a problem that affects 1000 customers vs one that affects 100. Good luck!
Sorry for that - good luck! Those early afternoon storms sometimes pack a pretty good punch. Some strong winds and heavy rain here with a couple of rumbles of thunder.
I voted no because this is what I'm used to and it works for me. It's low key, but gets busy when something interesting is developing/happening.
At the same time I'd stick around if there was a merger.
